Not something I thought I would ever write but here we are, I had a LAR July 2022 for rectal cancer and I was wondering if I’d be ok having anal sex now.
Wow that was hard to write but this is the best place for advice and guidance.
Thanks
Hi VJS1985 Did you have any radiotherapy? It suggests on this page that that might be problematic?
You could also try posting on the Ask a Nurse page or ringing the support desk
Take care
